spiritually for generations to come. We will create an open, hospitable and welcoming community that
embraces diversity and celebrates the giftedness of each person.

Church Vision
To be joyful disciples equipped to witness Jesus by living and sharing our faith with all.

Living and Walking by the Faith that never Fails Us

On this 27th Sunday of ordinary time, the holy mother church
invites us to reflect on one of the most important Christian and
theological virtues – Faith. It is the foundation of our Christian
life. Faith gives us a new vision and version of life.

Without faith, we see only the ugly and dark side of life.
Without faith, we remain helpless and slaves to despair and hope
lessness. Faith liberates us and helps us to see the power and love
of God at work in our lives.

In the gospel, the Apostles of Christ reminds us of what we should be praying for each
day. That is, praying to Christ: “Lord increase our faith.” Their humility and acceptance of
their lack equally remind us of the importance of faith in our Christian life and journey.

This following short story may highlight some thoughts in our lives. A rusty shield once
said to the sun, “dazzle me,” and the sun responded: “Polish yourself, and I will dazzle
you.” Our Lord Jesus Christ is always ready to increase our faith. However, we must
humbly ask for it. Second, we must make the necessary efforts through our actions.

Finally, we need faith to persevere in good works. We need it to remain steadfast

during difficult moments in life. We need more faith to trust in God’s will and judgment.
So, we must humble ourselves each day to say: “Lord, increase our faith.”

Let us continue to live and fight for our faith and witnessing to the world. Faith always
renews our way of life. Be faithful to one another.

God bless you. Have a wonderful week.
